“Everything he told me in his Five-Finger style proved to be right on the money!”

“As a guy who hires people all the time, I recognize how absolutely true RO’s job-creation method really is.  He “gets” it, and he does a fantastic job of explaining it in terms anybody can understand.  I love his writing style….”
          John J., San Diego, CA
 
“My task was to get “hired” by a writer’s agent, to help me sell my book.  I couldn’t get anyone to notice me!  RO used his Five-Finger formula to help me find the agent I wanted, and to get her attention.  Now, a year later, I’m a professional writer with a six-figure contract!  I’ll never doubt him again….”

Helping A Friend Find A Job

Current statistics suggest that you probably know someone who is looking for a job, or perhaps someone who is underemployed in a job that isn’t working for them. Your friend or loved one may be experiencing a lengthy period of unemployment and has lost momentum in their job search. It’s natural that you want to help, but perhaps you aren’t sure what you can do. Here are 5 suggestions:

  1. Be a positive, encouraging voice. It’s easy for unemployed folks to feel depressed and let those negative feelings derail their job search efforts. Keep them focused on constructive thinking.

    a.   Remind them of their professional and academic accomplishments

    b.   Gently urge them to keep an upbeat attitude. A chance encounter with a potential contact or even an interview could be soured by a desperate mood or defeatist perspective.

    c.   You believe in your friend. You know they can do great work, if given the opportunity. Tell them. They’ll benefit from your constructive words.

  2. Sit down with your friend and find out what their goals truly are. They can’t mount a successful job search and you can’t help them effectively, unless they know what they want and can tell you what that is. If they aren’t sure of their goals, encourage them to do some exploration and soul-searching through career counseling services at the local unemployment office or college (if they are a student), online research, and informational interviews with companies and professionals in their desired field.

  3. Be a resource. Who do you know? Who do those people know? Scour your network (friends from church, your job, clubs, school affiliations, community groups) for people who might be able to connect them with a Hiring Manager in the company or field they desire. Make introductions.

  4. Be honest. Help your friend by giving them honest, nurturing feedback on their grooming, their interview clothes, their cover letters, resumes, etc. Assisting with mundane tasks like proofreading can be very helpful so that a job seeker can put forth a professional, polished image to prospective employers. Conduct practice interviews to keep them sharp.

  5. Be a little tough. Urge your friend to come up with a real plan for their search. Check in regularly to hold their feet to the fire. Some people know that they have trouble finding the energy to continue their job search over a period of time. Offer to be their personal butt kicker. If they say yes…Do it!

    You can do a lot for your friend or loved one just by taking an interest in their job search. It can be a lonely activity if others don’t rally around to show support and be actively helpful.

LOOKING TO DO MORE FOR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT WHO IS OUT OF WORK?
Perhaps that person is a friend or a relative…your son, daughter or spouse. You’d like to be able to give them a job. That’s probably not possible. But you can give them a great gift that will significantly affect their job search and possibly change their life.

Many people struggle when looking for a job because they have never actually learned how to mount a successful job search. Instead, they do what they’ve seen other people do, with varying degrees of success. Unfortunately, someone who is unemployed might not consider making an investment in their knowledge at this time, even though that’s exactly what they need to do to move forward. Maybe you can help with that.
